THE New YORK Commercial Adcertiser,
(republcan), is facetious over the report
started by himself, that Senator Riddieber'
ger intends to resign; and says that with
this awful calamity staring it in the face, the
Government still stands and continues TO
call in and redeem its three per cent. bonds. !"
There is no doubt that if the republicans
had clear majority in the Senate they
would not only be delighted at Mr.. Riddle
bsrger's resignation, but would adopt means
20 make his chair vacant-and that they
have contemplated plans to that effect Is
we'll known but, for all that, the JUNIOR
Senator from Virginia will not resign, and
after General Malone shall leave the Senate
next March, he will be stronger repuoIl'
can than ever.

FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY %.

No SOUTHERN man or newspaper has yet
charged that the fact that young and inno-
cent girls are decoyed and entrapped IN
Chicago and Detroit, and shipped to the
lumber camps of the far Northwest for i'm
moral purposes. proves, or even indicates,
that the people of the cities named, and OF
the States to which they belong, are immor'
al and criminal. But for far less reason
prominent Northern men and leading North
ern newspapers assert that the white peo'
ple of Southern cities and States are semi
bsrbarous and wicked to the last degree
The difference between the South and the
North in respect of the case specially refer
red to- is that if q similar trade were discov'
cred in the former all those engaged IN II
would be treated to short shrift and long
rope, while in the latter it is conducted
with apparent impunity.

THE DIFFERENCE between the high Ii.
cense and the prohibition States is that
whereas as much liquor is drunk in one as
in the other, tho high license States derive
an income that enables them TO reduce their
rate of taxation, while the prohibition
States have to raise theirs, and that where
as the liquor sellers in the former pay a
large share of their gains to the support OF
the State government, those of the latter
put all theirs in their own pockets.

PROF. DAVID SWING says that savings
banks are as potent as the pulpit IN work
ing out solution of the social problems OF
the day, and he shows that the condition OF
people supplied with such institutions is
ALWAYS better than that of those without
them. The great trouble with savings
banks is the risk depositors run. Were
that danger removed, the condition Of the
people of every community supplied with
such banks would be improved. With d
N safe hank in which to deposit small sums
the money of depositors would rapidly
accumulate, and tho lottery and policy bus
mess as speedily decrease.
